Sure we could get De Goey, just don’t cry that we have to give up Petracca and Brayshaw to do it

Vox Pop: Who would you give up for Dee Goey?

Petracca + a pick or someone else?

    As I said I like Gaff... but with our dwindling resources in the salary cap, this deecision is Crucial, to get it right.   We are very one geared.  We are very much a power geared side,,, and i want us to add an extra dimension to our run and carry.

    Pace, breaks big games open.

    Hunt was our pace but instead of teaching him to lower his eyes we dropped him and now his season is over right when we need him

    Why do you say, 'instead of teaching him'?

    Don't you reckon we've been trying to get him to use the ball better since last season ?  The coaches of course, would have been working on that with him.

    And so we have worked hard on getting ur half back sorted so we use the ball better coming out of defence.  We have been much better at this, in 2018.

    But sadly Hunt has not been able to capture his best form, from the wing.

    Our depth has miraculously improved from defence, since we recruited Lever, and others last year.

    In a team lacking a bit of dash Id play Hunt and Garlett. Too good for the seconds in my opinion

    I disagree on Garlett this year.

    Hasn't deserved it.  You have to earn it,,, by doing the things 'the coaches' and 'the team' want/need.  Not watt 'you', want to do only.

     

    Watt was quick as well, like a fox, unfortunately.

    But not so much a 'team' man. just one of the' buoys'.  floated around waiting.   'watt of the wisp'.

     

    We want pace, with 'attitude',,, or 'brute', see Danger.   'will of the wisp', not so much. 

    I guess that's why we got Spargo, and Baker, both have 'tude'.  But both not what i'm talking about.

     

    'De Goey will be hotter property, and I am thinking he's skills are a better investment, than Gaff's gut run.

    Petracca vs De Goey

    https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_player_compare?playerStatus1=A&tid1=12&pid1=4041&fid1=S&playerStatus2=A&tid2=5&pid2=4043&fid2=S&type=A

    Tracking similarly. Given out scoring options it is reasonanble to suggest we rely less on Trac kicking goals, and so therefore he is given fewer opportunities to score than De Goey.

    Trac wins in CP, rebound 50s, intercepts and metres gained. De Goey in goals, i50s, and score involvements.

    This tells us Trac is playing more of a defensive role, De Goey more an attacking role.

    Is the effectiveness of a midfielder-swingman determined exclusively on their scoreboard impact? I think Trac is have a very solid year. As is De Goey.

    Pick 5 behind Petracca and Brayshaw in 2014, has just hit 50 games. We have no first round pick this year and cannot trade next years, so unless we're wiling to trade one of our own young guns (Trac, Oliver, Hogan, Brayshaw) then we cannot get him or Wines or anyone. On the basis, can't see it happening and prefer our youngsters to him.

     

    Youngsters with talent grow up and then hell breaks loose on the field. We have a great list. Culture and hunger are missing but these are bubbling now more than the recent (20 years) past.

    Dreaming that you could essentially trade Brayshaw for De Goey.

    I don't know the difference in market values,,, only the clubs would.   But I do know that a top 10 pick would go a long way towards that end, as trade in part for De Goey.

    Now I know we all like Gus, but unfortunately he is a long term risk.  We are not the complete list, that people have been talking about in recent seasons.

     

    And I know one pacy player is not the answer, just as Diamond Jim was not the answer on his lonesome,,, back in the 60's.

    We need to include about 3 quickish players into our lineup, IMO.   Stretch might be one?   Hunt at present, isn't.

    DShiel would go some way to help.

    Degoey would be fantastic.

     

    Gaff wouldn't, IMO.

     

    Buying in, would mean, we have to make some tough (ruthless) decisions with our list.  We have to enter trade;,,, and yes trade some favourite players.

    Someone from the Saints admin thought they should have picked Petracca instead of Mc C, the Dees showed interest in De Goey which would have been a win win for both clubs.

    So who are the Kangas going to trade to make this happen

    Will not be easy.

    Hope CW match the payment and sends them broke

    Just don't see how Degoey moves without the Kangas losing picks and players

    Pies will not lose De Goey IMO.

    Pies will lose players to keep him and he will forego some cash, but IMO will not leave.

    He will sign a 2 year deal at less cash, say $800k per year, or a longer term one, if he is happy to forego the future offers that may come.

    Pies will try and pension Wells off and other players can be moved on as well. Hearing rumours about Moore going as well, but I think he will only go if they get another key forward. Hello Tom, even though the Tigers appear to be the leaders in his chase.

    In the normal run of events I would agree but the Tom Lynch factor comes into this. From all reports their cap is running tight, Pendlebury and Sidebottom would be eating up a bit and they had to shell out the dollars to lure Adams and Treloar to the club. Can they find all that money even at 800k for De Goey and still find the cash for Lynch whom they have been openly chasing?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
